But the city has no input or information what it gets for the money. "We do have an obligation to spend our dollars wisely and the system as it works now quite frankly is that we send you the bill and you shut up and that's as far as it goes." Irwin says he figures Dauphin is paying officers $200 an hour to sit in their patrol cars.
